Asian Markets Mostly Lower on Oil and OPEC

Asian Markets Mostly Lower on Oil and OPEC
by, Mike King,

Asian markets were mostly lower this morning, despite strong gains by Wall Street overnight. Wall Street was boosted by solid consumer confidence numbers and by the first presidential debate. This morning saw a selloff in oil prices, forcing binary options trading strategy to shift direction, once again.

In Australia, the ASX 200 was slightly lower erasing early gains. Most sectors were lower and the heavily weighted financial sub-sector was flat. It gave up early gains as well. The energy sector was also lower on the day.

In Japan the Nikkei 225 lost over 1.5 percent and the Topic was over 1.6 percent lower. There was heavy pressure on exporting plays thanks to a stronger yen causing binary options traders to shift strategies.

Binary options traders should note that the yen strengthened against the Dollar to 100.23 by midmorning. By 1048 HK time the USD/JPY Forex pair was trading around 100.57. A top heavy tone is likely to prevail in this Forex market as there is very little resilience attached to the Dollar right now. There is also nervous jitters in the background thanks to a loss of confidence in the Bank of Japan. All of this will affect binary options trading strategy in this Forex pair.

Stocks were also affected by a stronger yen, causing binary options traders to adjust strategy with equities. Toyota, Nissan and Honda were all lower. Sony and Mitsubishi Electric also fell on the day and Sharp bucked the downtrend to trade slightly higher.

On the Korean Peninsula, the Kospi Composite Index lost ground and stocks in Hong Kong also sank on the day Shares in China were also lower as the Shanghai Composite lost 0.2 percent and the Shenzhen Composite lost 0.1 percent.

The down day in Asia follows a strong showing on Wall Street as sentiment in the States was boosted by a perceived win by Hillary Clinton in the first presidential debate. She is perceived a as the one to keep the status quo. There was also upbeat economic data as consumer confidence printed higher than expected for the month of September. This data underpinned sentiment in the States.

The DJIA was up 133.47 points on the day and the S&P 500 also gained. The Tech heavy Nasdaq Composite rose over 48 points to close at 5,305.71.

Looking at the currency market, another development affecting binary options trading strategy, was the gain in the US Dollar Index. This index measures the strength of the Buck against a basket of currencies. However, the US Dollar is still below the close from last week. This is suggesting that the Forex market is willing to sit out with the Dollar and focus more on risk-related plays, for the time being.

Turning our attention to the oil market, there is a lot of volatility making it hard for binary options traders to get a good read on the direction of oil. OPEC is set to meet one last time at 1500 London time today to attempt to come to an accord capping production at current levels.

Iran has refused to even consider anything put forward by its regional rival Saudi Arabia. They will continue to produce at current levels as they are gaining back lost market share during the time of globally imposed sanctions. This will cause the fiscal situation in Saudi Arabia to continue to erode as well as the price of oil.

During the Asian trading hours, price of US WTI Crude fell 0.11 percent to trade at $44.62 per barrel at 1100 HK time. Price fell over 2.7 percent in US trading hours. The global benchmark, Brent Crude was up 0.2 percent after falling nearly three percent in US trading hours.

Asia Mixed after the First US Presidential Debate

Asia Mixed after the First US Presidential Debate
by, Mike King, Bullish University

Markets in Asia and the Pacific Rim were mixed by the mid-morning session today. There was an increase in market volatility today as traders are eying the OPEC meeting in Algeria and the outcome of the first US presidential debate. All of these events will cause binary options trading strategies to change today.

In the Down Under, the ASX 200 lost around 0.7 percent. It was down one percent at one point. The heavily weighted financial sub-sector was down over one percent and energy plays lost 0.8 percent. The country’s major banks sold off as ANZ, Common Wealth Bank of Australia and Westpac were all lower. So was the National Australia Bank. This caused binary option traders to place a lot of puts on the morning.

The Kospi Composite Index, on the Korean Peninsula, was also lower but pared early losses. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng was higher and the markets in China were also higher. The Shanghai Composite was up 0.6 percent and the Shenzhen Index was up 0.1 percent this morning.

In Japan, their headline stock bourse, the Nikkei erased early losses of 1.3 percent to close down 0.3 percent. The Topix was down 0.5 percent thanks to an overnight rise in the yen causing binary options traders to change their strategy.

The yen strengthened against the Dollar reaching a session high of 100.07 before retreating to 100.75 as of 1040 HK time. This was up from Monday’s level of 100.85. Yen traders should be adjusting their binary strategies to the upside today. The stronger yen was not good for Japan’s exporters, like Sony, Toyota and Nissan which were all lower. This means binary options strategies with stocks were adjusted for puts.

The yen moved higher after Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda told business leaders a t a meeting in Osaka, Japan, that the central bank is ready to use every policy tool to achieve its two percent inflation target. This includes cutting short term interest rates further into the negative territory.

Kuroda underscored his determination, along with the central bank, to use all policy means to achieve this inflation target. However he did nothing or said nothing to dampen the market sentiment that the central bank’s policy will achieve this goal.

Looking at the broader currency market, binary options strategy had to change as the US Dollar index fell from last week’s $96 (and higher) to 95.359.

Investors also had their first look at the two leading candidates in running for the president of the world’s largest democracy, the Unites States. The debate was between Hillary Clinton (D) and Donald Trump ®. The markets were searching and are continuing to gauge which of these two presidential hopefuls are the least worst for the global financial markets.

One candidate is a known bad for the financial markets and the other candidate is an unknown bad. If any of these two candidates amp up rhetoric, then the financial markets will react with a lot of volatility as the day progresses.

Turning our attention to oil prices, Monday saw a recovery amid growing volatility as the world’s largest producers of the black gold are currently meeting in Algeria to discuss oversupply concerns. Investors are hoping they can reach an agreement to curb the production of oil.

During Asian trading outs US WTI Crude was down 0.20 percent at $45.84 per barrel after climbing over three percent in the US session. The global benchmark, WTI Brent was down 0.2 percent at $47.24. During the US hours it was up over three percent. Binary options traders will need to be careful with their binary options strategy during the day.

Asian Markets Lower as Investors Eye US Politics

Asian Markets Lower as Investors Eye US Politicsby, Mike King, Bullish University

Asian markets were lower across the board to start the week off. Sentiment this week will be dominated by the first US presidential debate and by an OPEC meeting today in Algiers. This will have an impact on binary options strategy for the day.

In Australia, the ASX 200 lost 0.2 percent as the heavily weighted financial sector lost 0.25 percent on the day. The energy sector reversed earlier losses to trade flat and materials lost 0.05 percent. Energy prices will provide a challenge for binary options traders today.

Major banking plays in The Down Under were all lower. ANZ, Commonwealth Bank of Australia were all lower. National Australia Bank (NAB) also fell while Westpac gained. The Australian Dollar was also a bit volatile in the Asian trading session making it hard for Forex and binary options traders to get a good read on direction.

In Japan, the headline stock bourse, the Nikkei 225 lost some ground while the South Korean Kospi Composite Index also lost ground. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index dropped nearly 0.8 percent. The markets in China were also lower on the day. The Shanghai Composite lost 0.6 percent and the Shenzhen Index lost 0.8 percent.

Asian and Pacific Rim traders had a sell day after both Europe and the United States took hard won wins off the table on Friday. Binary options strategy should follow this pattern into European trading hours as well as the US early trade at open.

US presidential nominees Hillary Rodham Clinton and Donald Trump are going head this evening in Hofstra, New York in the first debate of the presidential election. Recent polls are showing the candidates are even, head to head. The election for President of the United States is in November, nearly one month away.

Should Trump have a good performance, then safe haven assets will benefit. Japanese Government Bonds, the yen, Swiss franc, German bunds and gold. Binary option traders will need to adjust strategy as risk on assets like emerging market currencies and stocks will lose ground. High yield bonds and US equities could also move lower if he performs well. This debate could also fail to meet expectations, as the bar is set low with two apparently unpopular candidates running. Still binary options traders need to watch this event closely.

Investors survived the major bank monetary policy decisions from the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. Both central banks delivered very little, with high expectations expected. This is what could happen with this first presidential debate between Clinton and Trump. There is a series of debates before November and the candidates will try and play the first one relative safe instead of fighting with one another so early on.

In the currency markets, this morning, the US Dollar index was at $95.44 at 1100 HK time. It was at $96 the week before until the Fed released its policy decision to keep rates as is. The Japanese yen was at 100.95 this morning, down from 102.40 from last week. The yen is gaining strength, as investors are losing faith in the Japan’s central bank. Binary options traders should expect bearish momentum to continue in the USD/JPY Forex market today.

This also put pressure on Japan’s exporter plays. Shares of Toyota Motors, Nissan Motors and Honda were all lower on the day. Shares of Nikon rose this morning. A stronger yen means less profits and puts selling pressure on these exporting plays. Even in stocks, binary options traders should continue to see selling pressure in companies who export goods from Japan.

The Australian Dollar fell lower this morning, as the sentiment linked currency came under selling pressure. The AUD/USD was trading at 0.7610, down from 0.7680 seen last week. Binary options strategy should reflect selling pressure in this Forex market as well.

Looking at the oil market, price of the black gold also moved lower as hopes for a deal among OPEC members capping supply are fading. OPEC is meeting today in Algiers. WTI US Crude did manage to edge out gains, thanks to a weaker Dollar. The Global benchmark Brent also remains under pressure. Binary options strategy and trading should reflect the weakness in oil today.

Binary Options Trading the Next BOJ Intervention

Binary Options Trading the Next BOJ Intervention

The BOJ recent monetary policy meeting has failed to produce any material effect on weakening the Japanese Yen exchange rate. This is a particularly important event risk because the markets are increasingly dubious about the effectiveness of monetary policy. The Bank of Japan has upgraded its stimulus program to an extraordinary pace, it was the first major central bank to introduce negative interest rates in late January, and more recently adopted more easing or stimulus. Despite all of this the Japanese Yen continues to appreciate which is in contrast with what we would expect because, at least in theory, more stimulus should lead to a devaluation of the currency.

Because the Japanese Yen strength is hurting Japanese companies this prompted the BOJ to take a strong stance threatening a possible direct intervention in the Foreign Exchange market which inevitably leads to extraordinary binary options trading opportunities.

Why Binary Options Trading?

The benefits of binary options trading are enormous when trading volatile events such as the BOJ intervention because usually, volatility equals to more binary options trading opportunities. The biggest advantages are the fast payouts that are almost guaranteed because during the BOJ intervention the market gets fast one sided price movements and you only have to trade that side of the market, meaning only buying Call Options in the USD/JPY currency pair.

Binary options trading is a great way to trade the BOJ intervention because it has a low risk of ruin and is very helpful for you to protect your money even during fast news events. Unlike Forex trading, where you can lose more than your account balance and end your account with a negative balance, with binary options trading you always know how much you’re going to lose as this is predetermined by your initial investment in a Putt or Call option. You are in control of your maximum risk which will help you reduce the uncertainty in binary options trading.

How to trade binary options successfully during the BOJ intervention

More recently some Japanese policy members warned they could intervene in the currency market to tame the excessive Yen strengthening. If you want to find more about how to trade binary options successfully not just during the BOJ intervention, but also during any other major risk event then going forward, we’re going to provide you with a simple binary options strategy.

The BOJ intervention will likely have a strong effect on the Yen pairs and since the aim of the intervention is towards weakening the Japanese Yen we would expect USD/JPY to rally.

Binary Options Trading Strategy

 

A simple binary options trading strategy will be to buy Call options because we’re expecting only strong upside movements in USD/JPY. In order to maximize our potential profit, we want to make sure we trade as often as possible. This leads us to choose short expiration times like 5 minutes expiration time or even 60 seconds if you’re an experienced trader that can execute binary options trades in a fast trading environment.

How to trade binary options successfully using short expiration times is to correlate the expiration time with short time frames. If, for example, you trade using a 5 minute expiration time than it’s wise to use a 5-minute time frame in your analysis. Usually, the most demanding aspects of binary options trading with short time frames are the volatile and erratic price movement of the market.

The key on how to trade binary options successfully with short time frames is to only trade when you have a big risk catalyst that can disrupt the market volatility such as the BOJ intervention. If we don’t have a big risk event that can produce one side price reaction than the market can have big whipsaws moving back and forth without a clear direction in which case binary options trading can’t be suitable.

Binary Options Trading the BOJ Intervention

To better understand how binary options trading works in an environment driven by a big risk event, let’s go through a real-time trade example happened during the latest BOJ monetary policy meeting. On 21 September we had a failed indirect BOJ intervention that caused extreme USD/JPY volatility. This was an indirect type of intervention in the currency market because the BOJ tried to devalue and manipulate the Japanese Yen through the means of monetary policy.

Figure 1: USD/JPY 5M Chart

For the purpose of this example and as mentioned in the previous paragraphs we’re going to trade using the 5-minute time frame. In the figure above we have the USD/JPY 5-minute chart and we highlight how to only buy Call Options during the BOJ intervention because of the expectation of a strong rally.

We would like to be involved in these types of price reaction as much as possible, thus at the start of each new 5-minute candle we’re going to buy a Call Option with a 5 minute expiration time. We want to repeat the same process over and over again until the market reaches a climax point and stops moving in our desired direction.

We can note that during the BOJ intervention we had 12 candlesticks until we reached a climax point or a top where we run out of the bullish momentum. Out of the 12 candlesticks, only 3 candles ended up lower than the opening price so if we were to follow our binary options trading rules and would have bought a Call option with a 5 minute expiration time at the opening of each candle we would have won 9 times out of 12 binary option trades.

The market consensus is that the BOJ will soon intervene in the currency market to weaken the Japanese Yen and if that is the case now, you have a reliable and simple binary options strategy to benefit from the next major big event in the FX market.

Conclusion

We have proved that you can have remarkable achievements and what matters most when trading binary options is choosing the right binary options strategy which is suitable for the current market environment. Usually, how to trade binary options successfully will be dependent upon your level of experience and the more you trade the more proficient you’ll become with this type of binary options trading strategies.

Trading the Frustrating EUR/USD Range Using Binary Options

Trading the Frustrating EUR/USD Range Using Binary Options

The EUR/USD exchange rate has been restrained over the past 12 moths in a well-defined trading range, part of the reason being the relative monetary policy view between the ECB and the US Federal Reserve which is a limited engagement fundamental catalyst.

This hesitation in the form of a range over the past year is nothing more than a complex retracement before continuation. We have the parity level just below the bottom of the range at 1.0500 so we still have some good downside to be made. The great thing about current EUR/USD range is that it has very efficient price points which make it suitable for binary options trading.

Binary Options are the world’s simplest financial instrument and while you can simply trade the call-put binary options when we’re trading inside a range or consolidation, you can make the best out of the market by trading more complex binary options like the range binaries or as they are often called the boundary binary options or Tunnel bets. In essence, in the binary options world, range trading is also known as tunnel betting or boundary binary options.

What are Boundary Binary Options

Boundary binary options require predicting whether the price of an asset will be confined within a given price range over a predetermined period of time. In order to understand better how boundary options work, we’ll look through a real example. Let’s assume that you think EUR/USD will trade between 1.1200 and 1.1300 for the next day.

A boundary binary options contract will allow you to enter a trade using 1.1200 and 1.1300 as the strike prices. If by the end of the day EUR/USD closes within this price range, your boundary binary options contract will finish “in the money” and make you a profit. However, if EUR/USD closes outside the given price range your boundary binary options contract will end up “out of the money” and you lose the initial investment.

How to Successfully Trade Boundary Binary Options

Like in any other business or in any other type of trading: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Doing your own research and being knowledgeable about the market you’re about to trade will increase your chances of success. The type of preparation you’re going to do it depends entirely on what type of trader you are however making use of binary options indicators will give you more consistency in your trading.

It is very important that the first level of analysis that needs to be done when trading binary options is to identify what kind of market conditions are we dealing with because if you’re trying to apply the wrong binary options indicators to the markets it is inevitably going to result in many trades being on the wrong side of the market.

Incorporating indicators in your binary options strategy will help you better identify new trading opportunities and one of the best binary options indicators to use in a range trading environment is the Bollinger Bands. The Bollinger Band’s aren’t going to give you absolute buy and sell signals, but they are a great tool to determine the boundaries of a trading range.

Trading the EUR/USD Range with Boundary Binary Options

Suppose you want to trade the EUR/USD which has very clear price ranges not just on the longer time frame, but the EUR/USD exchange rate has been contained in smaller price ranges since the beginning of the year which is what we want to see if we trade boundary binary options.

EUR/USD Weekly Chart

In the above figure, we highlight the EUR/USD price range since the beginning of the year and we can note that with the help of our binary options indicators, namely the Bollinger Bands we can clearly define our price range which is contained between the Bollinger Bands boundaries.

Unorthodox Boundary Binary Options Strategy

When trading boundary binary options the price range is predetermined by your broker and you’re constrained by trading only inside those limits. An unorthodox strategy is to construct your boundary binary options by buying both a Put Option and a Call Option with the same expiration date but different strike prices determined by your price range.

In the figure below, we can see a real-time example of EUR/USD and how to construct boundary binary options. The binary options indicators (Bollinger Bands) will help us identify our price range and subsequently the strike prices. Once we determined the price range we simply buy a Call Option using a strike price equal to the lower boundary, and we buy a Put Option using a strike price equal to the upper boundary of our price range.

EUR/USD 1H Chart

In the above example, we want the price to stay inside the price range defined by the upper and lower boundary. The payout of these types of binary option can vary anywhere between 60% and 95% depending on your Binary Options Broker.

Traditional boundary binary options can be traded outside of their range as well. This type of binary options pays out only in the event the asset trades outside of a predetermined range. This binary options strategy is very useful when you believe you’ll have a trend rather than a range.

Conclusion

If you’re still learning the basics of binary options trading it’s best to first build up your experience with the simple Put and Call options before venturing yourself into more complex binaries. If you’re an experienced trader, it’s best to make use of the boundary binary options when the market is trading in a range or consolidation. Last but not least we have to keep in mind and use binary options indicators to help better identify the boundaries of our trading range.

Best Regards.

Binary Options Trading the Next BOJ Intervention

Binary Options Trading the Next BOJ Intervention

The BOJ recent monetary policy meeting has failed to produce any material effect on weakening the Japanese Yen exchange rate. This is a particularly important event risk because the markets are increasingly dubious about the effectiveness of monetary policy. The Bank of Japan has upgraded its stimulus program to an extraordinary pace, it was the first major central bank to introduce negative interest rates in late January, and more recently adopted more easing or stimulus. Despite all of this the Japanese Yen continues to appreciate which is in contrast with what we would expect because, at least in theory, more stimulus should lead to a devaluation of the currency.

Because the Japanese Yen strength is hurting Japanese companies this prompted the BOJ to take a strong stance threatening a possible direct intervention in the Foreign Exchange market which inevitably leads to extraordinary binary options trading opportunities.

Why Binary Options Trading?

 

The benefits of binary options trading are enormous when trading volatile events such as the BOJ intervention because usually, volatility equals to more binary options trading opportunities. The biggest advantages are the fast payouts that are almost guaranteed because during the BOJ intervention the market gets fast one sided price movements and you only have to trade that side of the market, meaning only buying Call Options in the USD/JPY currency pair.

Binary options trading is a great way to trade the BOJ intervention because it has a low risk of ruin and is very helpful for you to protect your money even during fast news events. Unlike Forex trading, where you can lose more than your account balance and end your account with a negative balance, with binary options trading you always know how much you’re going to lose as this is predetermined by your initial investment in a Putt or Call option. You are in control of your maximum risk which will help you reduce the uncertainty in binary options trading.

 

How to trade binary options successfully during the BOJ intervention

 

More recently some Japanese policy members warned they could intervene in the currency market to tame the excessive Yen strengthening. If you want to find more about how to trade binary options successfully not just during the BOJ intervention, but also during any other major risk event then going forward, we’re going to provide you with a simple binary options strategy.

The BOJ intervention will likely have a strong effect on the Yen pairs and since the aim of the intervention is towards weakening the Japanese Yen we would expect USD/JPY to rally.

 

Binary Options Trading Strategy

 

A simple binary options trading strategy will be to buy Call options because we’re expecting only strong upside movements in USD/JPY. In order to maximize our potential profit, we want to make sure we trade as often as possible. This leads us to choose short expiration times like 5 minutes expiration time or even 60 seconds if you’re an experienced trader that can execute binary options trades in a fast trading environment.

How to trade binary options successfully using short expiration times is to correlate the expiration time with short time frames. If, for example, you trade using a 5 minute expiration time than it’s wise to use a 5-minute time frame in your analysis. Usually, the most demanding aspects of binary options trading with short time frames are the volatile and erratic price movement of the market.

The key on how to trade binary options successfully with short time frames is to only trade when you have a big risk catalyst that can disrupt the market volatility such as the BOJ intervention. If we don’t have a big risk event that can produce one side price reaction than the market can have big whipsaws moving back and forth without a clear direction in which case binary options trading can’t be suitable.

Binary Options Trading the BOJ Intervention

Euro and Pound to Come Under Pressure Post FOMC and Brexit

Euro and Pound to Come Under Pressure Post FOMC and Brexit
By, Jason Schwartzman, Bullish University

Points to consider in this article:

• The post Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) swell in risk appetite should not find lasting follow through.
• Euro and Pound should fall as Mark Carney and Mario Draghi stoke Brexit jitters.
• Yen retraces gains after the Bank of Japan monetary policy announcement.
• New Zealand Dollar drops thanks to Reserve Bank of New Zealand rate cut bets.

Yesterday, the major central banks, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) each had their moments in the spotlight. Each central bank held steady on current monetary policy. However, the Bank of Japan announced they were tweaking their monetary base framework. This had an immediate impact in the global Forex markets as well as with Binary options trading strategies.

After these central banks announced their policy decisions we saw a flattening of the projected rate hike path. We also saw risk appetite being buoyed by hawkish rhetoric from the chair of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen, who all but guaranteed a rate hike by December. This caused an immediate reaction with global financial markets and traders to adjust their Binary options trading strategies.

Looking ahead to today, European stock markets are higher, with the FTSE 100 in London now up over one percent and the CAC 40 in France also up over one percent, at the time of this report. Futures, currently tracking the US equity benchmarks are flat, for the moment. This is suggesting that an up-shift in the 2016 Federal Reserve Rate hike may constrain optimism with the equity market causing a shift in Binary options trading strategies. Economists are now pricing in a 61 percent chance the Federal Reserve Bank will hike interest rates in December. There is better than a 55 percent chance the Federal Reserve will hike rates in November, next month. This is causing investors and traders to shift their Forex and Binary options strategies.

Also on tap are speeches by the chair of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi and Bank of England Governor Mark Carney. These speeches will mark key event risks for the European and global financial markets causing traders to adjust their strategies in Forex and binary options.

This morning, the New Zealand Dollar underperformed as the Reserve Bank of New Zealand suggested another rate cut was around the corner. This is sooner than many investors expected, as the probabilities for another rate cut would come after the first of the year. The central bank said that “macro-prudential measures and tighter credit conditions [meant to cool the frothy housing market] are having a moderating influence,” lending credence to a short term rate cut before January. This statement firmly opens the door for more easing and will cause traders to adjust their binary option strategy as well as currency holdings as more volatility will enter that particular Forex market. Namely, the New Zealand Dollar against the US Dollar Forex market. This could also cause other New Zealand financial markets to change rapidly causing a shift in binary option trading.

Reserve Bank of New Zealand officials had previously stated that there was an excessive bout of price inflation in the housing market, and this was growing, making them hesitant to cut rates soon. When the central bank lowers interest rates, this could compound that problem. At the time their priority was reigning in housing prices which was a cornerstone to stimulus expansion concerning their monetary policy.

In other Forex and binary option news, the Japanese yen corrected lower after spiking earlier after the Bank of Japan announced monetary policy. The Bank of Japan unveiled a new and redesigned stimulus effort. This new stimulus plan will be lined to keeping the 10 year yield Japanese Government Bond at zero, to force banks to loan money. After the announcement, the Japanese yen initially rose but swiftly reversed cause, playing havoc on binary option traders, earlier in the day. Traders are now signaling a lack of confidence in the new monetary stimulus regime. Investors have been suffering from eroding confidence with the Bank of Japan, and this is not likely to change anytime soon. Right now, the initial bout of optimism is wearing out and the Japanese yen is floundering a bit. Strength is likely to return to their benchmark currency as skepticism with the Bank of Japan returns. Investors have not been very forgiving with what they perceive as a lack of confidence with the Japanese Central Bank.

European Stock Markets Rise after the Fed

European Stock Markets Rise after the Fed
By, Jason Schwartzman, Bullish University

European stock markets are higher in morning trade are trading higher today, Thursday, as global investors are still digesting the recent spout of monetary policy decisions from both the United States Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan. These decisions will be causing binary option strategies to change as well as other financial market strategies.

The pan-European STOXX 50 is higher with all sectors in the green. All the major stock bourses on the European continent and the United Kingdom are higher on the day. Binary option traders and global investors are running with the good mood from a strong performance in Asia this morning and a nice rally on Wall Street, overnight.

In the United States, stocks rallied causing binary options trades to quickly adjust, after the Federal Reserve Board left interest rates as is. The post monetary policy statement was very hawkish and all but confirmed a rate hike before the end of the year. There is better than a 65 percent chance the Federal Reserve will hike rates in December. This could cause another shift in binary options strategy as the day moves on.

In its post meeting statement the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) expressed confidence in the economic recovery of the world’s largest economy. However, the confidence was not enough to make a move this month. “The committee judges that the case for an increase in the federal funds rate has strengthened but decided, for the time being, to wait for further evidence of continued progress toward its objectives,” said the Federal Reserve’s policy making arm in a statement yesterday. After the announcement, a weaker Dollar helped metals and basic resources to gain on the day. This also spurred binary options and other traders to buy equities. Specifically those associated in those sectors.

In other news, around the world, that will impact trading today including binary options trading, is a person was shot and critically wounded, on Wednesday, in Charlotte North Carolina. There are riots happening due to a shooting death of a suspect by the city’s police force. According to the man’s family he was reading a book, the police say he was armed and warned repeatedly to disarm before being shot.

Turning to business news, which will impact binary options trading and financial markets today, EDF, which is a French nuclear power utility said it was lowering its earnings expectations for this fiscal year. Shares were down three percent on the news and other energy plays are being affected. Binary option traders trading in the energy industry might have to adjust strategy.

Shipping behemoth, Moller-Maersk announced plans to reorganize. The company’s stock price rallied over two percent on the news.

In Europe, banking stocks were also higher thanks to currency news, which also impacts binary options trading. The Bank of Japan has announced a major policy overhaul with its monetary easing campaign. This caused the Japanese yen to briefly rise in the morning before falling lower. Binary options traders should expect volatility to continue in the global Forex markets.

Turning out attention to the US stock index futures, they are pointing to a flat open today. Traders are eying data releases and are continuing to digest the Federal Reserve Bank’s monetary policy decision from yesterday. This will also impact binary options strategy on the day.

In a statement after yesterday’s monetary policy decision, the Federal Open Market Committee said that “The Committee judges that the case for an increase in the federal funds rate has strengthened but decided, for the time being, to wait for further evidence of continued progress toward its objectives.”

Looking at economic data out of the United States that should impact binary options strategy for today, will see some key releases. At 8:30 am EST, initial claims are due. Half hour later the FHFA home price index will hit the wires with leading indicators following at 10:00 am EST.

In the oil markets today, WTI Brent Crude futures are trading higher at $47.21 per barrel and US WTI Crude is also higher at $45.75 per barrel. The weaker Dollar is helping the price of the black gold and will impact binary options strategy today.

As of right now, the pan-European STOXX index is up 0.7 percent. This morning, in China, the Shanghai was up over a half percent and the Japanese financial markets were closed due to a public holiday.
